southern fleurieu historical museum

Unfortunately there is eno Fleurieu Peninsula, this an area for all tourists.In the Fleurieu area you have so many options, wine in McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek to the beautiful coastline from Ptr. Noarlunga to Second Valley then from Cape Jervious to the Murray Mouth.Great food in Victor Harbor, Pt. Elliot and Goolwa, try the coffee at Hectors on the Wharf in Goolwa, then drive to Langhorne Creek for some stunning wines, back through Strathalbyne to McLaren Vale for great platters at Leconfield Wines or a Pizza at Oscars.Where else can you get such a diverse tourist destination, beautiful coastal areas, 2 great wine regions and great regional food.

I've have just recently visited this museum (Jan 2015). It's entirely set up and run by volunteers, and features farm machinery and horse drawn carts with domestic appliances and snippets of local history thrown in. These volunteers have put a lot of time, effort and money to get this attraction going. They are also very knowledgeable about the displays and the history behind them. In fact, some of the more senior volunteers used the items on display in their younger days on the farms. The museum has plans to build a second display shed to install more of the tractors that they have restored. The entry fee is still $5 per adult. Off street parking provided. While I enjoyed the visit because I like old tractors and carts etc, for those who aren't excited by this stuff may find little to interest them.

I recently moved to Victor Harbor South Australia, and was advised to visit the Southern Fleurieu Historical Museum. It is operated by the Southern Agricultural Society and open Thursdays and Sundays from 10.00am till 3.00pm. For anyone who has an interest in farm machinery and household artifacts prior to 1960, this museum offers a great experience. I have visited on several occasions. On Thursday's you will always find volunteers busy restoring old tractors, farm implements ect. who are happy to discuss what they are doing. Its only five dollars for adults and two dollars for children.
